Very aggressive American oak treatment dominates the bouquet and palate. Medium/heavy body, sweet raspberry jam, tongue feels rough from the amount of oak.

Black cherry and fine cigar box on the nose. Complex palate with pomegranate mixed in with the dark cherry, and a juicy lift and a slight spice lead to a long finish. Well done….from tasting a few other time….i don’t sense these are declining as much as evolving.

This paired beautifully with a pork chop. Bouquet of dark cherry with a deft oak touch, and some funk. On the palate an intense but at same time delicate cranberry, with strawberry and sour raspberry. Long aftertaste.
